Macro-synteny between SMIBC interspecific eggplant map, tomato and eggplant maps (linkage groups E01-E06). Different colours were used for linkage groups and links to distinguish and anchor the maps. SMIBC interspecific eggplant map was depicted in purple, tomato EXPEN-2000 map [34] in red, Barchi et al. [33] eggplant map in blue, and Fukuoka et al. [32] eggplant map in orange, Nunome et al. [27] eggplant map in green, and Wu et al. [29] eggplant map in yellow. Inside of linkage groups in white are shown the corresponding map and number of each linkage group. On the external part of circular ideograms are indicated the markers name and their position. The candidate genes for chlorogenic acid (CGA) synthesis pathway and polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) are shown in bold letters.
